The Flame's Daughter (烈火如歌)

The Flame's Daughter

Episode 5

Miss.

Never thought that Lady Ying Yi is also a martial artist.

Miss, did you misunderstand anything?

How can I know any martial arts?

It's just that Young Master Feng saw that I'm weak,

so he taught me some simple martial arts.

Can a simple martial arts skills use my Qi as a sword and block by internal energy?

Letting me cooperate with you in doing a pitiful act?

Looks like Lady Ying Yi is a martial arts genius.

You are way smarter than I thought.

Too bad, you still lost.

You are hating me, right?

I also hate you. If not because of you,

I've long become the madam of Maple Courtyard.

You're using your father to force him.

Crying and begging him to marry you.

Lie Ruge, you really are so shameless.

Thank you, Ying Yi. You helped me make a decision.

I initially thought that Zhan Feng likes you

because even though you are a woman who fell into being a courtesan,

your natural temperament is kind.

That's why, he got very infatuated with you.

But never thought that he would give me up just for a person like you.

Lie Ruge, if you weren't born in Flaming Hills,

if you were not Lie Mingjing's daughter,

he wouldn't marry you!

But I was indeed born in Flaming Hills and is the daughter of Lie Mingjing.

Whether you envy or is jealous about it,

all these are truths. You must accept it.

Moreover, I am currently giving you my blessings.

I hope that you can continue hiding this truth from Zhan Feng and I wish you two forever happiness.

Lie Ruge! I know that you are jealous of me!

Just to prove that I'm really giving you my blessings, let me give you a gift.

You surely will love this gift.

Because this way, you can continue being the Ying Yi that everyone pitied.

There are servants looking behind me. You can't fight back nor evade it.

That slap was in behalf of Die Yi.

Teacher, every 15th is when the cold wind counterattacks.

Go and shut the doors.

Yes.

Teacher.

Leave now.

Yes.

Are you in there?

Isn't the mountain villa having a banquet tonight?

You...why are you still not readying for it?

Will you go?

If you want me to go, I'll go.

I'm very scared.

Scared about what?

Today, all the members of Flaming Hills are around.

I fear that Zhan Feng will break off our engagement.

I will disappoint my father.

Are you just afraid that your father will get disappointed?

Yes.

What you are more afraid of is facing the truth.

I said it correctly, right?

My guess is right.

Yin Xue, what is your reason for coming to Flaming Hills?

To be your strategist.

I have nothing to strategize about.

I want to help you get a lifetime of peace and safety. Are you willing?

I'll get going now. See you in the banquet.

Teacher, why don't we just skip the banquet tonight?

No.

Just like what Ge'er said,

today is the biennial grand banquet of Flaming Hills.

Tonight, whether it is Lie Mingjing

or Zhan Feng, someone will surely make a move.

The most innocent one is Ge'er.

Brother Zhan, 19 years have passed.

Ge'er and Feng'er

have both grown up into adults.

Be at ease.

Actually,

I wasn't able to teach Zhan Feng well.

I let him hurt Ge'er.

I will let this matter have a closure tonight.

Come. Come. Let's have one round.

Come. Come. Drink.

Jinglei, the banquet is almost half done, how come Sir is still not here?

I already sent the invitation to the Pear Courtyard. His disciple was the one who received it.

- Logically speaking, they should-- - Sir has arrived!

I thought Sir wouldn't like events like this.

That tonight, you wouldn't give me this honor.

Sect Leader, you are being too courteous.

Since the banquet has started, I'll just make myself at home.

Okay, Sir, you just do as you want.

Please. Okay. Sit.

This is mine.

Ge'er, are you really not afraid to let others see your intimate actions and cause some misunderstandings?

Or you wish that they will misunderstand?

It's enough to stay far away from you.

Really? But from what I can see, the one who is nearest to me now is you.

Where is your fiancé?

Young Master Feng is here!

Young Master Feng is here... Yes...

Indeed.

Sit beside me.

Young Master Feng, I fear that this is against the rules.

What rule have I broken?

Chief Steward Yi, don't be too serious.

It is obvious that this lady that Young Master Feng brought with him is hurt.

Young Master Feng is just letting her rest.

She was not really asked to sit with old people like us.

Tonight, while everyone is around,

and there is also Sir and two guests from Swordless City and Thunderbolt Clique,

I have a good news I want to announce to everyone.

That is...

about the wedding of my daughter.

Father.

May father continue what you're saying.

Feng'er and Ge'er have been childhood friends and have a deep relationship.

Right now, they both have grown up.

I am announcing that in the Chongyang Festival (Double Ninth Festival) next month,

the two of them will officially get married.

Congratulations, Sect Leader! Congratulations, Young Master Feng and Miss Ruge!

No.

Zhan Feng, do you know what you're saying?

I said...

no.

- Eldest Senior. - What did he say?

Do you know the consequence?

Anyone who disobeys the order of Sect Leader will have his martial arts abolished

and get kicked out of Flaming Hills.

Give me a reason.

- Because I-- - Because I don't like him.

Because I don't like him.

Father, sorry.

I indeed used to like Zhan Feng, but not anymore.

It was me who changed my heart first.

It was me who wronged him.

That's why, I can't marry him.

Ge'er...

Don't defend...your senior brother.

I'm not defending him.

I am protecting myself.

Ge'er!

Father,

I beg you.

I can't marry him.

Because the person she likes is me.

With me around, how could she still need Zhan Feng?

Brother Yi, it is me who disobeyed my father's wishes.

I am willing to accept the proper punishment.

You must not treat this matter seriously, Chief Steward Yi.

That's right, Ge'er, you're wrong.

There won't be any punishment.

It's just a daughter confiding her feelings to her father.

Telling him that you love another man.

If you'll get punished just by doing that, isn't your father to heartless?

That's right. Which child doesn't have some arguments with their parents?

No, saying that it's an argument is making it sound too grave.

At most, just some misunderstandings and careless comments.

Older brother, it's enough to just scold Eldest Miss a few words.

Don't quarrel with your daughter.

That's right, older brother. Having a child who can honestly confide her problem to you like that,

not being bashful and pretentious, is really your good fortune.

That's right.

Teacher, don't punish Ruge.

Yi Lang,

you decide this matter.

Miss is just talking to her father

and not to Sect Leader.

So, it's me who didn't understand my daughter's feelings.

I was just randomly being some matchmaker here.

Okay.

Since both of you

are unmarried yet,

and it concerns you,

then the marriage agreement between you two that was set 3 years ago, let's just forget it.

Just forget it.

But this matter must not be mentioned by anyone again!

Yes, Sect Leader!

Ge'er.

Senior Brother, I'm fine.

Prince, the night is deep,

rest early.

Say, if I'm not like this, would I be able to help Ruge more

in the banquet earlier?

This matter has passed.

Prince shouldn't keep blaming yourself.

- Go there to help out later. - Okay.

Eldest Miss.

It's you.

Can I come in?

Do you know why I came today?

You shouldn't have come.

It's already at the end, must you still be this cruel?

I've liked you since we were little.

Your appearance when you stand,

when you walk,

when you talk,

when you train martial arts,

when you are quiet.

I would follow you wherever you go.

What really about you did I like?

Even I have forgotten about it.
